[@julianv2281]

From what I remember, at the last episode, it is suggested that some people do retain some of their memories from a different timeline, as when Okabe and Kurisu found each other at the end of the final episode and Okabe calling her Christina while she reacts and says not to call her that. Therefore I think as if he reminds them or gives them clues that are key moments from a different timeline, they would also remember. Idk im just rambling on I suggest watching the movie if you havent.

[@JeppeBeier]

@@diogopinto7984 Yeah he got Farris to remember everything from two timelines at the same time. That’s something he can’t even do himself as he always keeps his old memories with no recollection of the new world line. I think the way it works in the universe is that when the world line changes, they don’t lose the memories. The memories are just locked away, and their surface memories are made to fit the world line.

Yes! It's not a Season 2 and its not an alternate story. The watch order is: Steins;Gate Episodes 1-22 Steins;Gate Episode 23b (can be found on KZbin) Steins;Gate 0 (all of it) THEN Steins;Gate Episode 23-25 This will help you see the show in it's full context.

[@dm_ex_machina3395]

@@TheMaskedNinja_ wasn't much to figure out...Mayushii tells us at the very start. If only she had done something different. And we see what she did different. However if you don't watch all of Steins;Gate, you wouldn't have that piece of context so there would be an actual mystery of what she could have done differently. Having seen the anime dozens of times before I watched S;G0 I had to willfully ignore that. Watched it with someone who had never seen it and got to vicariously experience their raw relationship to the show without the knowledge I had and that's why I say it's the best way to watch it.

[@vanitum9172]

It's so cool to see new Steins; Gate stuff nowadays, thank you for doing this video! Kind of my favorite part of the show was the way they manage to give everyone's suffering some kind of meaning. We don't actually know how many posibilities are there, or how many Okabes were trapped in the cycle of changing the past and regreting it. There are some insights of some other possibilites in the LN and in Steins; Gate Zero, but I assume there are millions of billions, maybe *infinite* possibilites. And out of all of those, only one has this "happy" ending where the premature death of both Kurisu and Mayuri is avoided (and I say happy because characters such as Ruka and Fayris had to give up their own desires to achieve this). How many okabes went crazy this ideal would be achieved? And even then, some of them (like Zero Okabe) gave up everything so that some version of himself some-when could (maybe) achieve that goal. That's what I call poetic. What am I trying to say with all of this? I just love Steins; Gate. *El Psy Congroo*

[@brosoul9323]

Why did Okabe in sg 0 go through so much trouble only to make another version of himself happy? That sounds meaningless

[@khangminh219]

@@brosoul9323 It is because the operation skuld is to find the stein;gate world line. The world where mayuri and kurisu live and disaster didn't happen. Yes, Okabe 0 didn't witness, nor experience that timeline. But he want still find it, to confirm it. The world of happy ending. He may suffer, but he knew damn well that if he continue, s;g will achieve. Operation skuld is about prevent the disaster, and rescue kurisu. It never about himself. Its about the people around him, the people whom he love.

[@alexswordsman3583]

0:58 this feeling of okabe being completely paranoid and delusional is exacerbated a lot in the VN, one reason it's the very slow pacing: you will experience many moments in which he interacts to people, more than the anime, and the way it all feels like a comedy is going to hit so much harder when the twist happens. this is truly one of the few reasons i prefer the VN over the anime. the game basically immerses you in this world so much over the hours spent reading it that it will traumatize you when things actually change for the worst

[@RealJeffTidwell]

Everyone says SG is about time travel, but they never mention that the show has 3 different methods of traveling through time. D-mails which allow for the switching of world lines, time leap which goes back in time but as your self, and the Time Machine from the future that allows you to physically go return to the past but stick to similar rules to time leap.

I only watched s;g for the first time in late 2019 and it's had a massive impact on my life but I couldn't really pin point why but I think you nailed it perfectly. I've had depression for about as long as I can remember and I would constantly destroy myself by thinking over what happened that day and why all my friends hated me, why nothing went well for me. Steins;gate obviously didn't fix all my issues but it helped me find the mindset that I have now so it has a special place in my heart. This was a great video too!

To all the people who've watched Steins;Gate and have loved it, I wholeheartedly suggest you guys to watch Steins;Gate 0 for a complete Anime experience. Trust me, when I decided to watch Zero, I was suggested by a huge portion of the fandom to skip it. I'm glad that I didn't. It was one hell of a ride, devastatingly painful, but the final episode of S;G 0 blew me away. I love everything that is Steins;Gate, and watching Steins;Gate 0 is probably the best thing that I did after finishing the original. *El Psy Congroo*

what?! I'm shocked that any S;G fan would say to skip 0

[@Ceimash]

I first watched Stein's Gate Zero and I was looking at the story like.... This story feels like there's a part 1 so I go look for where I could find the part 1. I finally find it on Netflix, watch the entire thing (El Psy Congroo!! and all that) then instead of watching through (what I consider to be) the very despressing ride that is the middle portion of Stein's Gate Zero, I skip to the last few episodes where it becomes an absolute thrill ride of love, determination and absolute cool. Although, I didn't like it so much because their combining it with the main timeline felt forced. Nonetheless, it was cool. I loved seeing his determination to jump back a 1000 times just to save Christina and his beloved Mayuri. And can I just say, I aspire to be a person like Mayuri. She the sweetest, most kind, most (NOT NAIVE) character in any anime I have ever seen yet. TO TOO ROO!

[@Amiirhesam]

its only an opinion but i believe that steins;gate is the best anime cause it mixes the main Sci-Fi storyline and romance and bonds thats created, these together makes the watcher to feel the characters, yeah its different in very ways like its not that action to play a song and starting to ora-ora people. like, every scene of this anime fits, you are happy in first half of season then litterally everything changes and when the MC begins to fix everything he realizes that he needs to choose between his childhood friend (who he wants to be happy , he love mayuri but just not a romance) and his love. personally, i liked both seasons equally but steins;gate 0 was my type because it showed the adult version of okabe who was bluffing and ... to make people near him happy. but in s2 we see what world can do to people like him.

[@taigre1954]

I always loved this concept of the anime, but watching this video opened my eyes even more

[@Koroto]

Nerding out over series is what we do here 😅👍

[@mads_in_zero]

I think an interesting counterpoint to S;G's determenism was sort of lost in the translation from VN to anime. See, the whole point of the Steins Gate Worldline, the unknown future Okabe is asked to reach in the final stretch of the plot, is that it's completely unknown and unknowable, implicitly free from strong convergence. Throughout the story, Kurisu constantly reiterates that she thinks Worldline Convergence Theory is complete bull, in a way that's both very humanitarian, but also quite scientific - she quite correctly points out that even if it's the accepted theory in the future, that doesn't mean that it's 100% true. And, come the ending, when Okabe gets his groove back and goes back into dumb Mad Scientist LARP mode, he starts his usual rants from the beginning of the story, only with much more actual weight behind them. He swears to "upend the ruling structure of this world" - and he doesn't mean the Committee of 300 (he's so far away from being able to fight them that the anime cut all direct references to them entirely), what he means is that if the laws of the universe deny him a happy ending where he can save both Mayuri _and_ Kurisu, then damn those laws. If Steins Gate is something Okabe pulled out his ass, then "the choice of Steins Gate" means something Okabe chooses, himself, no matter what the laws of the world say. (I think this idea that denying the reality in front of you in order to create a happy ending lands much better not just because of extra context in the VN, but also if you played the previous game in the series, Chaos;Head, a game about psychics who change reality to match their perception of it. Chaos;Head itself loosely implies that everyone's psychic, just not always to the degree of being able to manipulate reality, more of a collective unconsious deal. It says that winter skies above Shibuya are a duller blue, because in the colder season, less people look up at the sky and wish for blue. This motif of the "sky" and "observation" crop up so often in this series that it's pretty tightly tied to Steins;Gate too. The VN's original OP for instance - "Skyclad Observer", whos lyrics refer to Okabe's plan to fool his past self to change the future.)

It could even be a new invention something to do with finding anonymous, like they research the very strange things that happen. Lot of options for story telling, they could even be 1 or a few episode stories. It could even explore the characters relationships. Like the cliffhanger, we ask what happens to them next?

[@Zuudo]

I highly suggest you check out the Steins;Gate visual novel - and the Science Adventure series of visual novels as a whole. Steins;Gate is an excellent anime, but the visual novel is an absolute masterpiece, taking you far deeper into the story than the anime ever could. The other entries (Chaos;Head, Robotics;Notes and Chaos;Child) aren't as well known because their anime adaptations weren't great, but their respective visual novels are incredible (in my opinion, even surpassing Steins;Gate)

Stein Gate is about a bunch of nerds Which decided to play with time. If the time machine had not been invented by them, Sern would not have ruled the world in Alpha World line, In Beta World line the third world war would not happen. So Okabe and his friends were responsible for the chaos that would happen in Future. Suzuha travel in the Past to change the future,all what she has to do was to warn them about time machine, and tell them that they need to destroy the time machine, but instead she helped them, she allowed them to get an IBN and hack Sern, she didn't warn them that if they hacked Sern, Sern would send agents to stop them, when they realized that it was a mistake what they did, it was already too late.I wouldn't travel in the past or future, because if I travel and change something, something else will change, in conclusion it's useless to change the past, because something will change when you change something.

Its not exaggerated to say that it might be one of the best anime regardless of genre, story wise.

[@kianyt5804]

I gotta disagree that the phenomenon of certain events being unchangeable throughout world lines in steins gate is a consequence of determinism, its more a play on the idea of fate. Fate and determinism are similar, in that they both point to the inevitable occurrence of certain events, but they differ in their mechanics. Determinism is beholden to linear causality and the interjection of time travel elements give rise to the butterfly effect - a change in conditions leads to a change in outcomes. Fate on the other hand is not influenced by causality; fated events occur regardless and in spite of changes in conditions and the interjection of time travel cannot negate fate. For example, Okabe's inability to prevent Mayuri's death is a clear example of fate, though the show tries to pass it off as some form of determinism by setting Kurisu's death as a necessary condition to Mayuri's survival, but really what this is just a confused determism/fate hybrid system. This is science fiction, so they can play around with these things, but this is not determinism, as necessary conditions are logically antithetical to determinism and the butterfly effect.

Yub i feel broken , like destoryed

[@Zelgiun]

This video is naive based on title. It is not determinism and free will perfect nor prefect, but it displays a worldline theorem already disproven by heavy studies of quantum mechanics.

[@typhoon743]

I think that the true chronological order is Steins gate 1-22-23b-Steins gate 0 1-23- steins gate 24. However, Spoilers: Your theory about not undoing the last one gave me pause, but if there was an IBN 5100 available with Ruka or she Kurisu woke up from her state and Okabe learned soon enough, the Steins gate chronology works.

Steins;Gate is peak fiction #fightme

Am I the only one who thinks Kurisutiiiina is Best Girl of all anime?

[@NoArkf]

I love this 😈

[@slick1889]

Everything was going great until 3:59 where I realized its dubbed T T bye going for another vid lol

[@Koroto]

1. This is not 2010, everyone who cares has already decided whether they watch sub or dub. Arguing won't change anyone's mind and no one else cares. 2. I watched it sub (and later dubbed again because I am a level 900 anime enjoyer consuming every version of the stuff I like 🗿 Imagine not hearing Matt Mercer's Levi or Jotaro because "ree dub bad" lmao). I just use dub for yt videos because I know a lot of people watch on a 2nd monitor/just listen. 😅

[@Gundam_JAY]

I saw a clip of it in a funny compilation video and thought it was based on a comedy.. needless to say I was do wrong🤣😂😂😂

[@aljkan]

Amazing fcking video

[@Koroto]

Appreciate ya' :)

[@aljkan]

@@Koroto will u ever cover steins gate 0

[@Koroto]

Time will tell, if I feel like I have something worth saying - for sure!

[@perrydunetz882]

23b isn’t the true ending, it’s leads into 0, and zero loops back around to 24, either way the story loops back to the happy ending, either way Okabe gets the happy ending he deserves

[@Koroto]

I hadn't yet watched 0 at the time of making the video, but yup. Though I still like the thought that there is a dark ending as well haha

[@perrydunetz882]

@@Koroto I would highly reccomend reading the visual novel of 0 instead of watching the anime if you can help it, the original steins gate is a great adaptation, there are a few details cut but nothing major (except the thing with nae, people who play the VN know what I mean), 0 cuts entire storylines and character arcs from its adaptation creating a weird Frankenstein’s monster of several routes from the vn, it’s still ok, but the VN is on a different level

[@isaacm4159]

I think he just prefers the dark ending which is understandable. I can see why some would feel the OG ending to be a bit of a cop out. However I don't see it that way. Okabe had to go through so much shit just to get the happy ending. He actually had to live in a world where Kurisu was dead for 7 years and never thought he was going to get her back so it's not like his decision was meaningless. The episode 24 ending ties everything together nicely and explains exactly why it's called Steins Gate.

[@julianrobertson1869]

.... Did you not watch the end of Stiens gate before jumping into the sequel!?

[@Koroto]

Of course I did, I talk about it in the video? 😄

[@Trashloot]

Its so weird hearing english voices to the characters you only know in japanese ^^. Cool video tho.

[@jimbeammeup9879]

Japanese voices were the best ones.

[@UmeNero]

I Enjoy

[@mr.theking2484]

You say that episode 23-b is the true ending, but that's not actually true. Episode 23-b is the introduction episode to Steins;Gate 0, which is technically canon and also not at the same time since 0's timelines are erased after they reach the Steins Gate worldline at the end of Steins;Gate's ACTUAL true ending, but I do see how you could make that mistake. Btw, read the visual novel, it's like 40x better than the anime (somehow). And while you're at it, read the entire SciADV series' worth of VNs (except Occultic;Nine until O;N New World comes out)

[@0raullo053]

Can someone explain me what el psy kongroo mean?

[@adminbob_]

Two years late, I know, but i’d like to correct you and say that steins;gate captures fatalism, not determinism.
